Bible Versions

During lecture, Professor Little mentioned several versions of the bible and how they influenced England at the time. Here are some
14th century, The Bible was translated to English (Wycliffe)
1560: The Geneva Bible that Shakespeare would most often use
1600: There was a specific Bible written for Catholics (I wrote down Cymatine for some reason and I can't find any more references to it anywhere)
1611: King James Bible, commissioned to be translated
